Good Friday morning! My project today is made using a layout I used a few weeks ago for the Impression Obsession design team “shades of green” challenge. I loved all the different elements of dimension and thought I would repeat it with the Creativity Takes Courage sentiment and using the new Spiral Daisy, Spiral Flowers, Leafy Branch and Branch Die. I especially love the soft amethyst flowers and matching background.
I started by creating the double matted frame and layering it over the sentiment with mounting tape. I attached the outer trim to the card base with mounting tape
I arranged the foliage and attached to the frame using glossy accents. I created the spiral flowers using my needle nose pliers and attached them to the foliage. I like using both the large scale branches along with the more delicate leafy branches and the fluffy flowers to create my delicate floral arrangement. I think it is perfect with the sentiment
I have tutorials on how I create my floral sprays and frames if you would like to check them out. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend.
